  • HDMI 2.2 supports 96Gbps data-transfer speeds and 12K resolution, but it could take up to a year before devices that support it are available (and even longer for compatible consumer media).

The article from MSN discusses the advancements in HDMI technology, specifically focusing on HDMI 2.2, which supports significantly faster data transfer rates. Despite these improvements, the article reassures readers that there's no immediate need to replace their existing HDMI cables. HDMI 2.2 enhances capabilities like higher resolutions, refresh rates, and dynamic HDR, but current HDMI cables can still handle these features adequately for most consumer needs. The piece explains that while HDMI 2.2 offers benefits like Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Quick Frame Transport (QFT), which are particularly useful for gaming, the cables themselves are backward compatible. Therefore, unless one is looking to future-proof their setup or engage in high-end gaming, there's no rush to upgrade cables. The article also touches on the potential for future technologies like HDMI 2.3, suggesting that cable technology will continue to evolve, but for now, existing cables suffice.
